Winchester Park and Cultural Center

The programing is amazing, Patrick Gaffey and all involved have done an outstanding job! I highly recommend getting on the (E)mailing list!

I came to the WInchester Park and Cultural Center last night to see a performance of Leonard Bernstein’s «Trouble In Tahiti» opera. There is plenty of parking in front of the Cultural Center and the walkway goes from two areas of the parking lot to the entrance.
Once inside, the theatre is to the right. In the hallway before the doors, there’s a small art gallery space that has exhibitions. I was early so I took some time to check it out last night. A strange display is there now.
The theatre opened and since it was open seating, I could sit either on chairs on the floor arranged in am semi-​circle facing the stage or I could sit on one of the theatre style chairs in the rear section. I opted for the rear section. It’s a proscenium stage that appears to be fairly large. For last night’s show, the small group playing music were in an area in front of the stage. The bass stuck up high enough sometimes that for a moment or two, one of the characters was blocked by the bass. I could have moved but it wasn’t necessary.
The theatre has a good set of lights for the productions done here and the seating was comfortable.
I am so glad that the Clark County added performance spaces to many of the parks and recreation areas. This adds to the places where our talented people can perform be it a play, a musical, or an opera.
I’ll be back in May for their last opera of the season.

We live close to this park and have recently signed up my daughter for the Mexican Folkloric dance class. Its lovely and ridiculously cheap ($ 3 drop in rate)! She loves the class.
The park is so-​so. Its small and quiet but not very clean. The playground equipment seems dirty and not well maintained.
We love the community center but aren’t thrilled about the park!

A nice park with several playgrounds a «cultural center» that is never open, skate park, basket ball court, and splash pad. Theres also some grassy space and a tennis court.
I used to come to this park a lot more. The area has become more run down and they dont keep it up very well. Lots of trash strewn about. Still, if you live in this part of town, this is probably the «most decent» park.

Small and Quiet Park.
We drove past it several times before finally checking it out. I think the skate park always hindered me. But it is never busy, seems to be frequented by the same people. We normally go the same time every Saturday morning.
It’s the perfect place to take my son for some playground fun and then he run around in the water sprinklers.
It’s always clean and has a huge grassy area. There are a few BBQ pits in different areas, so I love that they are spread out.
They also offer basketball courts and a «workout» area.
I have only gone inside the community center once and the staff was very helpful. Only wished they offered toddler classes as well.

This review is for the park grounds itself. We took our dogs here a few times for a walk– trails, small BBQ areas, basketballs courts, a community center, and a small skate park (located in the front) as well. It’s kind of dark at night in the trail area, so if you have one handy in the car, bring a flash light. The park is small, but it’s not too crowded, which is very nice– probably due to the fact that it’s located in a residential area. The majority of the people here are in the skate park (which is lighted) or on the basketball courts. Sometimes there will be people playing football on the grassy field. Since, it’s not crowded at all, parking is really easy to find. We go around multiple times, since this park is on the tiny side.
